However, when I right click on the "photo album" disk, it wither gives me an option to delete partition, or help. When I click on the C Drive and review properties, it brings up a pie chart of the disk etc.
It then references the CD-ROM again as above. Photo Album Partition Basic NTFS Healthy (Active)ĭisk 1 Photo Album 111.79GB NTFS Healthy (Active) (C:) Partition Basic NTFS Healthy (System)
When I enter Disk Management in Administrative Tools Computor Management I see the following "volume's": I have attempted to trace the partitions by typing in D:/ E:/ etc. I have booted the PC and can still see in Device Manager that the second disk (registered as a Seagate Disk etc) is visible, and working normally it says). I have not changed any ofthe BIOS settings but the set up now is exactly as before.Īs an alternative, could I just connect the Slave Drive but boot using the Windows XP disk, then access the files and copy onto some form of external storage - in that way it won't matter if I trash the Seagate and start over. I don't understand if initializing the drive as suggested elsewhere may have a similar effect. I understand reformatting may delete a partition but do not wish to try this. (The Slave/Seagate is partioned itself into 3 drives and I wish to access all of them). What do I need to do to get the slave drive back online without in any way deleting files. XP has reinstalled onto the Mastr Drive (Maxtor) with no problems but although I can see the Seagate back up (slave) drive in Device Manager, I cannot get the Drive to open or access any of my critical folders.Īt panic stage as I have work files, hundreds of photos and music and do not wish to lose any of them. Never a problem and although perhaps a bit slow by today's standards, worked well enough for my use. The cable runs from the Master, via the Slave to the board. Previously both hard drives were accessible - the Maxtor jumpers set to Master, the Seagate with no jumpers set to Slave.
All of the important data I needed was backed up to a Seagate Barracuda 7200 (120gb). I reformatted my old Maxtor Hard drive (53073U6 - 30gb) with XP following some issues.
